Garden of the Sleeping Giant

On the way back from Lautoka, we stopped at the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. The extensive orchid garden and tropical rain-forest owes its existence to Perry Mason (aka the actor Raymond Burr), and is located at the foot of the Sabeto mountains which dominate the skyline around Nadi. Sabeto apparently means 'sleeping giant' in Fijian, hence the name of the garden. Well as you can see the orchids were pretty, the trees were freaky, but best of all was drinking the complimentary tropical juice at the end while lounging in white colonial-style wicker chairs. Hey, it was hot, ok!
